        There have been about 10 attacks from different folks that
I've noticed in the past 72 hours from folks.

        The other solution is just to comment out all of your
control.ctl file for this problem.  You can find the hacks posted
elsewhere, but you should upgrade if you have not already, or at
least apply the patches.

As you may have heard, a security hole in INN has been the subject
of some forged control messages, which try to gather password file
contents.

I recommend running 1.5.1, but if you're running a pre-1.5.1 version
of INN, then please go look at our web page http://www.isc.org/inn.html
or the ftp site ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/patches for patches to
1.4sec, 1.4unoff3, 1.4unoff4 and 1.5 to correct this.

Thanks

James
